OTHER COLLECTIVES WE DIG:

we know we’re supposed to be all gushy about k-48, force--field, -beige-, and derrain-drop, but here’s some other people doing really cool stuff who aren’t art stars (yet):

-oh, we got new ones too-

found magazine - ann arbor, MIa magazine that focuses on the heartbreaking tales and funny/silly/weird things that people leave in the garbage, or just out in public in general. we found the first issue of this magazine in san francisco acouple of years back, and have been delighted to find that they've kept at it, expanded, and even done a "slapdance across america tour 2004"...there are just so many good moments in this magazine, any issue, please go buy it immediately.

chengwin - NYCyou make us laugh chengwin, and you make art fun. we can't wait to see where chabio turns up...

cannonball press - NYCall prints for sale, for $25. how cool. truly affordable art. our personal favorite title: "so mad he shit on the street". we've been that mad before, but never had the follow thru.

bullfight review - san francisco, CAan online literary magazine which has evolved also into actual print. like mcsweeney's, without the pretensions (oh don't get us wrong, we like mcsweeney's as much as the next literary loser, but...)

retard riot – cyberspacewho is this person? dunno, but we’ve been checking the site periodically, and you should too…

active collaboration – Toronto, Canadathese guys are really pushing things in Toronto, and recently collaborated with outpost 42 for a show in an area that reminds us of what williamsburg must have been 10 years ago, lots of good people and interesting stuff coming outta here.

the third floor. - Brooklynthey rock. they promote local talent and community, and really, what more could you ask for?

toyshop collective - Brooklynok, maybe you haven’t noticed, but we LOVE LOVE LOVE swoon. seriously. we’ve been stalking her for some time, and she has responded not with mace but by actually coming out to one of our events. awesome. we will continue to use the stalking method as a viable way to meet people.

moonbunny – Berlin, Germanyout of the ashes of NYC’s opiate records springs this electronic label in Berlin. 100% quality and promoting the same amazing music they’ve believed in for years. and we’d expect nothing less.

tooth and nail magazine – BrooklynDIY and still doing it, interviews, music, art, politics, feminism. props to this zine for keepin it real.

repellent magazine – NYCthey seems to be really pushing worthy things, like art + music + politics + a forum for it to all happen. check it out online tho, cause the print version is a bit rich for our blood.

free103.9 - Brooklynwhat can we say? they’re doing it, and making us better for it. check them out.

mighty robot – (401 wythe avenue) - Brooklynguess they don’t have a website or anything, but we had the opportunity to wander into a show here, and saw a band doing a punk cover of duran duran’s “the chauffer”. we just about melted. awesome rooftop view, live video + music, and the pbr is cold.

acute records - Brooklyndark overlord dan selzer’s record label. he knows more about music than you can ever dream to. No. We promise, he knows more than you do. and he runs this group, check it out: nyhappenings

activaire – NYCok. 100 points for style, baby. they fashion music for public and private spaces. no more muzak, this is the real deal.

beyond events - NYCbest listings for the most interesting electronic music to hear around nyc. why? because bryan, who writes it, is everywhere, and has impeccable taste.

-who we continue to love-

the madagascar institute - NYCthese kids are crazy. we watch them with a tiny bit of jealousy and a great deal of pride as they seriously just make a mess, cause a riot, and soak in it…

buy-sellf - Bordeaux, Francethese kids do not mess around, and are in the process of putting together a new catalog of their artists work for 2004. they draw from artists all over france, but also a few other European countries, a couple Canadians, and a few Americans, and the work, well, you have to see it to believe it.

wooster collective. - NYCthe Wooster collective rocks because they have compiled an intense amount of street, graffiti, and sticker art into one site. check it out and stay a while.

instant coffee - a bunch of different spots in Canada not only do they rock exhibitions and send out great listings, they also are wonderfully tongue-in-cheek…
